"We are bringing LAX passengers what they have been asking for - better access to reliable, convenient transportation from the airport. Tomorrow, those options expand dramatically with the arrival of UberX," Mayor Eric Garcetti said.

Both ride-share companies were able to drop off passengers at LAX for a $4 fee, but now under the council-approved plan they will also be charged $4 to pick someone up.

UberX drivers will pick up or drop off passengers on the upper departures level only at curbside signs in front of each terminal marked "Ride Service."

Uber Black, Uber SUV and Uber Luxe services will pick up and drop off passengers on the lower arrivals level.
